A bit sad!

Today I'm feeling a bit despondent. The reason is that once again I'm loosing a good friend, meaning she is leaving Singapore to return home after being here for 14 years. We first met at a quilt group meeting many years ago and have become close. I will miss her greatly as well as our weekly get-togethers when we quilted and crafted. Of course I couldn't let her leave without making her a little something.

It's part of a new pattern set for four cushion covers called "From the Heart" by Kellie from Don't look Now but I've made it into a little wall hanging instead.

As most of Kellie's patterns it's done by raw edge applique and it came together quite fast.

On Friday I had another tea box workshop and both ladies managed to finish a box each. Didn't they turn out lovely?

Wow, what a wonderful gift Vreni! Hopefully, with the internet and your blog you'll be able to keep in touch with your friend! Those boxes are so pretty -- I sure wish you were here so we could make boxes!

What a gorgeous wallhanging Vreni! Your friend certainly won't be forgetting you! Next time you're in Switzerland I think you should do a tea box workshop - I'd love to learn how to make one!! They're lovely!

That is sad for you Vreni to be having your friend move away but you have made her a beautiful gift which I am sure she will treasure. How lucky we are to be living in an age where we have internet and can keep in touch with the click of a button, not the same as having her near I know. Lovely boxes your ladies have made.

Love, love, love your mini quilt. You even changed the colours of your thread for all the motifs when you quilted. Your friend is very lucky to have found you and with internet she won't be too far away.

I am so sorry to hear that your dear friend is leaving and you won't be seeing her I understand how you must be feeling that is a beautiful applique that you made for her she will have it on her wall and everytime she looks at it she will think of the woderfull times you spent with each other, I missed your last post ,but I just took a look and I must say you made some wonderfull purchases I wish you many hours of enyoyment with your new goodies,I haven't been blogging to much lately a bit under the weather ,but I will soon feel better.xoxo theodora

About Me

I'm originally from Switzerland but have lived in Australia and Asia for the past 28 years. I'm a typical "trailing spouse" (meaning I go where my husband's work takes us) and our two children are TCK (third culture kids). We are now living in Singapore again after 5 1/2 years in Shanghai. Quilting has really been a "life line" as it has given me the opportunity to connect with like minded women and I have made a lot of lasting friendships with people from all around the world.
